[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of the fender trim 100 installed on the fender 200 in an embodiment provided by the present application, and is a perspective view of a cross-section along the X direction (i.e., the width direction of the vehicle) of the vehicle; Figure 2 is Figure 1 a three-dimensional structural diagram of the fender trim 100 in Figure 3 is Figure 1 a structural diagram of another perspective of the fender trim 100 in

[0029] This embodiment provides a fender trim 100, and the fender trim 100 is installed on the fender 200 of the vehicle. The fender 200 is an outer body panel for covering the front wheels of the vehicle, such as Figure 1As shown, the fender 200 is provided with a mounting hole 200a, and the fender trim 100 is mounted in the mounting hole 200a. The fender trim 100 includes a main body portion 101. After the fender trim 100 is mounted on the fender 200, the main body portion 101 covers the mounting hole 200a. The main body portion 101 of the fender trim 100 may be curved. After being mounted on the fender 200, the main body portion 101 may protrude slightly outward relative to the outer surface of the fender 200. The outer surfaces of the fender trim 100 and the fender 200 are kept consistent, such as using the same material or having the same outer surface coating, etc., to maintain the consistency of the appearance.

[0030] In this application, the side of the fender trim 100 close to the interior of the vehicle is defined as the inner side, and the opposite side is defined as the outer side. As Figure 1 shown, the fender trim 100 in this embodiment further includes an indicator light 300. The indicator light 300 is mounted on the inner side of the main body portion 101, and the main body portion 101 has a light-transmitting area 101b. The indicator light 300 can emit light to the outside through the light-transmitting area 101b. Specifically, the indicator light 300 is the ADS marker lamp (autonomous driving system marker lamp) of the vehicle in this embodiment. When the autonomous driving system is controlling the vehicle to run, the ADS marker lamp should remain constantly on and cannot be manually turned off. When the ADS marker lamp is on, it can indicate to other users of the road system that the autonomous driving system of this vehicle is controlling the vehicle, and can play a prompting role for other users of the road system. Of course, with the diversification of vehicle functions, the indicator light 300 can also be used to indicate other features of the vehicle.

[0031] With such a setting, the indicator light 300 can be set at the position of the fender 200, providing more possibilities for the layout position of the indicator light 300, and can be decoupled from the exterior mirror of the vehicle, improving the flexibility of the layout of the indicator light 300. In addition, compared with the exterior mirror of the vehicle mentioned in the background art, the fender trim 100 has less styling restrictions and a larger space can be set, which is beneficial to the layout of the indicator light 300 and increases the degree of freedom in the design of the indicator light 300.

[0032] Exemplarily, as Figure 1 、 2As shown, in this embodiment, the main body 101 of the fender trim 100 has a through-hole portion 101b1 that penetrates the main body 101 from inside to outside, and the through-hole portion 101b1 is the aforementioned light-transmitting area 101b. That is to say, the indicator light 300 is located inside the main body 101. The main body 101 covers and protects the indicator light 300. At the same time, by providing the through-hole portion 101b1, the light of the indicator light 300 can be emitted from the through-hole portion 101b1 to the outside, so that other vehicles and personnel outside can observe the indicator light 300 in time. Providing the through-hole portion 101b1 on the main body 101 of the fender trim 100 for the light of the indicator light 300 to be emitted has the advantages of simple processing and low manufacturing cost.

[0033] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the indicator light 300 includes a lamp bead 301 and a condenser 304 for concentrating the light of the lamp bead 301. The indicator light 300 further includes a face mask 303, and both the lamp bead 301 and the condenser 304 are located inside the face mask 303. The face mask 303 serves as the housing of the indicator light 300 and protects components such as the lamp bead 301. In addition, a part of the face mask 3 corresponds to the position of the light-transmitting area 101b, and the front end of the face mask 303 can be located in the light-transmitting area 101b. The front end of the face mask 303 can be defined as the front end 30311 of the mask body. The front end 30311 of the mask body can be directly located in the through-hole portion 101b1, for example, it is roughly matched with the shape of the through-hole portion 101b1, which is equivalent to being filled in the through-hole portion 101b1. In this way, the light of the lamp bead 301 can be emitted to the front end 30311 of the face mask 303 of the face mask 303 and then directly emitted to the outside, and the display effect of the light is better. The front end 30311 of the mask body can be set not to protrude outward from the through-hole portion 101b1. One is to protect the front end 30311 of the mask body, and the other is to maintain the appearance of the fender 200. Figure 1 In, if the height of the through-hole portion 101b1 in the Z direction (the height direction of the vehicle) is D, then the height of the front end 30311 of the mask body in the Z direction is also approximately D, and it can be slightly less than D to facilitate the front end 30311 of the mask body to enter the through-hole portion 101b1.

[0034] Specifically, Figure 1 in, the face mask 303 of the indicator light 300 is a cylindrical structure, including a large-diameter portion 3032 and a small-diameter portion 3031. The lamp bead 301 is installed inside the large-diameter portion 3032, the end of the small-diameter portion 3031 is closed, and the end of the small-diameter portion 3031 is the aforementioned front end 30311 of the mask body. The condenser 304 is arranged inside the small-diameter portion 3031. In this way, the light condensing effect is better, and the external display brightness is more easily satisfied. One end of the face mask 303 is open and can be sealed by a bottom plate 305, which is convenient for installing components such as the lamp bead 301 into the face mask 303. The indicator light 300 may further include a radiator 302, and the radiator 302 is used to dissipate heat from the lamp bead 301.

[0035] The fender trim 100 in this embodiment may further include a camera (not shown in the figure). The camera may be a rear-view camera of the vehicle, that is, the fender trim 100 integrates a camera and an indicator light 300 at the same time, so as to make full use of the space of the fender trim 100. The camera is specifically installed inside the main body 101. For example, Figure 2 , 3 as shown, the main body 101 has an opening 101a that penetrates the main body 101 from the inside to the outside. The lens of the camera may be located in the opening 101a, so that it is convenient to capture images of the external environment. Figure 2 In, the opening 101a of the main body 101 is located at the rear end of the fender trim 100. The front-rear direction is the front-rear direction of the vehicle, that is, the Y-direction of the vehicle. The orientation of the opening 101a may be biased backward, so that the camera can capture images of the external environment behind. The fender trim 100 protrudes slightly outward relative to the fender 200, which is also convenient for setting the opening 101a with a backward orientation. At this time, the indicator light 300 may be generally located in the middle of the fender trim 100, that is, the through hole 101b1 is opened in the middle of the fender trim 100, which is beneficial to display the current indicator light 300 to the surroundings.

[0036] In addition, continue to combine Figure 2 , and refer to Figure 4 for understanding. Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of the fender trim 100 at the position of the buckle 105 after being installed on the fender 200 in an embodiment provided by the present application, and is also a cross-section along the X-direction of the vehicle. Different from Figure 1 the cross-section position, it is a cross-section along the X-direction at the position of the buckle 105.

[0037] The fender trim 100 in this embodiment further includes at least one buckle 105 provided on the main body 101. The buckle 105 is used for snap connection with the fender 200. Figure 4 shows that the fender 200 has a flanging 201 extending inward, and the buckle 105 can be snap-connected with the flanging 201. As described above, the fender 200 is provided with a mounting hole 200a, and the flanging 201 is arranged around the mounting hole 200a. At this time, by the snap connection method of the buckle 105, when installing the fender trim 100, it only needs to press and snap the fender trim 100 with components such as the indicator light 300 directly to the position of the mounting hole 200a. The installation is convenient and fast, and it is also convenient to disassemble, and the reliability and stability of the installation can be ensured.

[0038] Specifically, please continue to refer to Figure 3, the buckle 105 of the fender trim 100 is provided inside the main body 101. The fender trim 100 includes a plurality of buckles 105, and the plurality of buckles 105 are distributed around the main body 101. Figure 2 Four of the buckles 105 in Figure 2 are approximately arranged around the main body 101. In this way, the fender trim 100 can be more evenly and reliably mounted to the fender 200.

[0039] Please continue to refer to Figure 3 , the fender trim 100 in this embodiment further includes a connecting support. The connecting support is provided with a threaded hole. Specifically, Figure 3 shows the first connecting support 103 and the second connecting support 102. Both the first connecting support 103 and the second connecting support 102 are provided inside the main body 101. Figure 3 In Figure 3 , the two connecting supports are distributed at the front and rear ends of the main body 101. The connecting supports protrude inward relative to the main body 101. Figure 3 Both the first connecting support 103 and the second connecting support 102 in Figure 3 are columnar structures. The first connecting support 103 is provided with a first threaded hole 103a, and the second connecting support 102 is provided with a second threaded hole 102a. The fender trim 100 further includes screws (not shown in the figure) that are threadedly engaged with the first threaded hole 103a and the second threaded hole 102a respectively. The indicator light 300 can be fixed to the first connecting support 103 and the second connecting support 102 by the screws. Specifically, for example, the mask 303 is also provided with a connection hole that mates with the screws. The first connecting support 103 and the second connecting support 102 can reliably fix the indicator light 300. It can be seen that the number of connecting supports is not limited to two. For example, it can be one, or more than two, and can be set according to actual needs.

[0040] It can be understood that connecting supports and screws can also be provided to fix the camera. Of course, the indicator light 300 and the camera can also be mounted to the fender trim 100 by other means, such as snap connection, bonding, etc., but screw connection is relatively more reliable.

[0041] As Figure 2 shown, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 104 are further provided on the inner surface of the main body 101 of the fender trim 100 in this embodiment to improve the strength of the main body 101. Figure 1 Reinforcing ribs 104 are arranged on both sides of the through-hole portion 101b1 in Figure 1 .

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, Figure 5 is a schematic structural diagram of the fender trim 100 in the second embodiment provided by the present application; Figure 6 is Figure 5 an enlarged view of part A in Figure 5 .

[0043] The structure of the fender trim 100 in this embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment described above. The only difference is that the arrangement of the light-transmitting area 101b of the fender trim 100 in this embodiment is different. As Figure 6 shown, the main body 101 of the fender trim 100 in this embodiment includes a light-transmitting layer 1011 and a coating layer 1012. The coating layer 1012 is coated on the outer surface of the light-transmitting layer 1011. The coating layer 1012 is consistent with the outer surface coating of the fender 200. The light-transmitting layer 1011 is made of a material that can transmit light, such as transparent plastic, etc. This embodiment does not limit this here. The coating layer 1012 has an opening 1012a that penetrates both the inside and outside of the coating layer 1012. The opening 1012a and the corresponding part of the light-transmitting layer 1011 of the opening 1012a are the light-transmitting area 101b described in this application. The part of the light-transmitting layer 1011 corresponding to the opening 1012a, that is, when projected along the width direction of the vehicle, the overlapping part of the projection of the light-transmitting layer 1011 and the opening 1012a. This part and the opening 1012a are used together for the light of the indicator lamp 300 to be emitted outward. At this time, the entire indicator lamp 300 is located inside the light-transmitting layer 1011.

[0044] In this embodiment, the specific formation method of the opening 1012a is to engrave it on the coating layer 1012 by laser engraving process. Laser engraving is also called laser carving or laser marking. It is a surface treatment process using optical principles. The laser engraving process itself is a prior art and will not be elaborated here. The coating layer 1012 is relatively thin. After spraying the coating layer 1012, engraving the opening 1012a that is part of the light-transmitting area 101b is easier to implement in terms of technology.

[0045] Reference can continue to be made to Figure 7 , Figure 7 which is a schematic structural diagram of the fender trim 100 installed on the fender 200 in the third embodiment provided by this application.

[0046] The structure of the fender trim 100 in this embodiment is basically the same as that in the first embodiment above. The only difference is that the structural form of the indicator light 300 on the fender trim 100 in this embodiment is slightly different. In the first embodiment, the mask 303 includes a large-diameter portion 3032 and a small-diameter portion 3031, and the condenser 304 is arranged in the small-diameter portion 3031. In the second embodiment, the mask 303 also includes a large-diameter portion 3032 and a small-diameter portion 3031, but the condenser 304, the lamp bead 301, the radiator 302, etc. are all arranged in the large-diameter portion 3032, and the end of the small-diameter portion 3031 is inserted into the through-hole portion 101b1. In comparison, in the first embodiment, it is rear-wall type light distribution, the light-condensing effect of the condenser 304 is better, and the external display effect of the indicator light 300 is also better, which can better ensure the uniformity of light emission and the performance meets the requirements.

[0047] An embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, including a fender 200, and the fender 200 has a mounting hole 200a for mounting the fender trim 100 described in any of the above embodiments. Therefore, this vehicle also has the same technical effects as the above fender trim 100, which will not be elaborated here.

[0048] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the present application are only used to distinguish features with the same or similar structures, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features.

[0049] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
